Major Project: Joint tutorial with Simon and Andrea - Helpful feedback


The joint feedback with Andrea and Simon was a really eye-opening experience because there are many things we agreed on and many things we disagreed on.

Simon voiced his concerns on my end scene being too long and at first I didn't really see why it would be too long, but it was only into the edit when I realised that it could be cut down. I still didn't cut it down as much as they wanted but I was able to make a compromise and meet in the middle.

Another feedback I received from Andrea was that I made the right decision to re shoot and add the thoughts of external/internal feelings of Isaiah. This made me feel really hopeful for the film as I was able to realise that I was still on track and even closer to my goal of creating a film that shows my characters hidden feelings. 

Another feedback was that I can still work on the sound and ensure the sound effects brings the film to life even more. I agree with this as I was only supposed and on the picture but I need to remember that sound is just as important as the visuals. That was the area my film is lacking in so the next steps from me is to continue to enhance the Soundesign and find ways of turning it down.

I learnt that this could be just as good after watching someone create a brilliant prosthetic that way.  In the video here you can see that she has moulded the clay in to the desired shape and preps it for the covering of the liquid latex. I then proceeded to doing the same.   I was using coloured, oil based clay for mine. I was then required to sprinkle flour over mine to thicken the layer of the latex. I would repeat that until I was happy with the thickness. In the same tutorial, she moulded teeth for her zombie and I thought it would've been cool to do the same. ...
